Wyoming 2014

My parents, brother, and kids headed to Gillette, Wyoming to celebrate the life of my Grandpa Dick.  He left me with such fond memories from my childhood as well as during my adult years.  He will be missed greatly by all.  The 12-hour drive there and back was a great way to reminisce and reconnect with family, and the kids did surprisingly good for being in the vehicle for over 24 hours within a three day span.

 Looms!

 

Grammie's Scary Selfie

Immediately when the picture snapped, Grammie screamed and threw my phone back at me.

(Brock is shocked that Grammie is attempting a selfie)

I will call him Fancy Buffalo

Mama Goose sitting on her eggs.  We knew better to get too close to her from the egg-sitting Mama Bird in Minnesota last year.

Brock and Sophie got the "Big Dog."  Brock ate it bun and all.

Spelling Bee

Brock was selected to compete in this year's spelling bee.  He was competing against his fellow 3rd-grade peers and fourth grade students.  He did an excellent job and placed 3rd!  Way to go, Brock!  So proud of you!

 Easter Morning Egg Hunt

 

Let the hunt begin!

Can he do it?

 Of course he can!

 Pay special attention to the pocket egg thief in the background. ;)

Definitely her mother's child.

 Sophie thought it was so much fun until...

She got cold.

 

Mom:  What were you doing out there this time?

Ella:  Washing off.

Mom:  I think you missed a spot.  :)
